About your vocal coach
Hello! I am Sonia Purani, a singing tutor with over 5 years of experience. I am currently at NYU Steinhart and Stern studying psychology, marketing, and vocal performance. I specialize in personalized singing lessons mainly for beginners and kids, focusing on jazz, classical, and pop style singing; though, I am open to teaching everyone of all ages. My expertise includes ear training, harmony, improvisation, music theory, and more. I create a tailored learning experience to enhance melody, pitch, vocal techniques, and I place special emphasis on breathing and grounding... the most important part of healthy singing! Whether you're just starting or want to refine your skills, my expert teaching will help you grow as a vocalist! Feel free to reach out with any questions, and lets hit the right notes together in our online lessons!
Sonia graduated from Manhasset High School

Singing lessons overview
My teaching methodology focuses extensively on breathing techniques, expressive delivery, harmony, rhythm, and motivation to enhance singing lessons. I make sure that all my students do not just learn singing, but they learn how to sing effectively and healthily. I specialize in Pop Singing, Jazz Singing, Classical Singing, and Singing for beginners and kids, but everyone is welcome to learn. I utilize a variety of tech tools like Google Meet, Zoom, and Wiingy Chat to offer interactive online learning experiences. I use self made lesson plans and tools to teach songs and warmups. Lessons range in time, and I follow a structured curriculum tailored to cater to students aged 10 and above. My personalized tutoring approach ensures that students grasp vocal techniques effectively, building a strong foundation for their musical journey.

Sonia led Mary in a singing lesson, working on "I See the Light" and introducing solfege. After Mary left, Sonia taught Clare music theory, covering note values, rests, time signatures, and sight-reading with solfege. They analyzed sheet music and practiced rhythm.

On June 30, 2025, Sonia Purani gave Musa Serry a singing lesson focusing on breathing exercises (diaphragmatic, breath-holding, "puffer fish," and 4-7-8) and pitch/tone work on the song "Do-Re-Mi." Sonia broke down the song phrase by phrase, emphasizing correct starting notes, pitch, and enunciation. They discussed scheduling the next lesson for Tuesday at 5:00 PM Eastern, and agreed on a similar lesson structure for the future. The lesson concluded with Musa receiving a confirmation message.
